Depart from the ordinary by arriving here.

Quirky

You’ll find weird and unusual attractions across North Carolina, from Vollis Simpson’s whimsical whirligigs in Wilson to the “Cowboy Capital” of Love Valley. Other sights, like our legendary ghosts, are a bit more elusive. And there’s no shortage of quirky events here. Join in the fun at annual competitions such as the Woolly Worm Festival, National Hollerin’ Contest and Underwater Bike Race.
